number ol Blacks are employed So
you see. this goes far beyond just
Chrysler workers.
“ The to ta l im pact on the sta te
would include the loss of more than
'5 .0 0 0 employees, 34»» ot which are
m in o rity , m ore th a n 86,000 em-
ployees ot suppliers, more than 6.IMM)
deadlcrship em ployees. $2 4 billion
in salary and fringes. $94 6 million in
corporate state and local taxes, $89
million in employee state and local
income tax withheld and S3 .3 billion
in p u rch ases from su p p liers in
Michigan ”

544.000 em ployees. 28r a o f which

M asor Coleman Young of Detroit
w arns o f fhe d o m in o im pact in
urging support for Chrysler.
In ad d itio n to the loss o f jo b s,
D u n m o re re m in d e d , the n a tio n a l
Black community would be impacted
by the loss of Chrysler's leadership
and support in the area of social ac
tivism
D u n m o re said th e econom ic
situation of Blacks is further periled
because of the poor track record of
foreign m an u factu rers— who would
take over much of C hrysler’s market
sh o u ld the co m p an y fa il— in em
ploying Blacks.
“ Those who might get hired would
be relegated to the lowest rung on the
totem p o le ,” he prediefed. " L a s t
year at C h ry sle r, fhe w eighted
average salary for Black hourly em
ployees was $17,500. The average for
Black sa laried em ployees was
$22,000 an d , interestingly enough,
some 4,000 of these earned in excess
o f $22,000
" I n addition, for those that might
be hired by foreign m anufacturers,
upw ard mobility on the job might be
non-existent, whereas our com pany
has shown a steady increase in the
n u m b e r o f B lacks in u p p er
classifications.
It'S Good to,know!

Affairs, the full financial impact a
Chrysler closing would have on the
national Blavk economy well exceeds
that figure
“ The SI billion loss includes $ mn
million in salaries, $150 million in
health care and S25O million paid to
minority w orkers em ployed by our
dealers, vendors and supportive ser
v ic e s," D unm ore explained “ But
that figure does not indude the loss
o f salaries du e to la y o ffs o f city
w o rk ers in m u n ic ip a lities w here
C hry sler is located that would be
necessitated by the loss o f taxes the
corporation pays
“ Last year C h ry sler paid m ore
than $22 million in city, school and
withheld employee income taxes to
D etro it, $4 5 m illion to H ighland
Park, and more than SI million to
W ayne C o u n ty . In each , a large

time this country gets a cold. Blacks
get pneum onia."
That »as a truism for Reverend
Joseph L ow ery, presid en t o f the
Southern Christian Leadership C on
ference, while speaking about the
ailing U.S economy during a recent
press conference in New York
And that is the precise consequence
facing Blacks if the financially
tro u b le d C hrysler C o rp o ra tio n is
forced to close its doors
A recent financial analysis of the
c o rp o ra tio n 's financial positio n
revealed that the loss in salaries and
health care for its 35,000 Black
w orkers would be a staggering SI
billion. But. according to Albert J
